A promising young nursing student took her own life shortly after breaking up with her boyfriend, an inquest heard.
Lucy de Oliveira, 22, who attended Liverpool John Moores University, was described as a bright and caring young woman.
She strangled herself at her student home in Kensington, east Liverpool, on February 27.
Lucy had a history of anxiety and depression, the Liverpool Echo reported.
According to a coroner’s investigating officer she sent a tragic message to her ex before she died.
It read: ‘I just want it to end, I want it to end.’
The forensic pathology registrar said that Lucy died of asphyxiation but had also overdosed on painkillers before her death.
Area Coroner Anita Bhardwaj concluded that there was no doubt that Lucy took her own life.
